last summer i met a boy in a chatroom ... yes i know chatroom. I use to go in them all the time when i was bored and whatever play around i guess anyways i started talking to this kid, and over time i actuallu started to like him. I never seena picture of him at first so i know i liked him for him and not what he looks like. We kinda dated ... ughhh sounds gay i know i know. Its not like i cant get a guy in real life, i can and i do but i always end up thinking about him. I've seen his picture only a month ago and hes alright! not cute or anything but i still love him. His personality is wonderful and i cant get enough of him, but the whole idea of meeting him from online makes me feel like a geek! i dunt noe. I had a boyfriend before i met him and i was in love or at least i thought i was. i already knew what i wanted but now i want him!! is that weird??? And i know hes not a fake!!! he has a myspace and has ALOT of friends on it from his school and we talk on the phone?? do you guys think its weird .... do you think its possible to be in love with someone you hardly know but in a way you do!!

Vendetta answered Tuesday May 23 2006, 7:08 am: I don't think it is weird at all. I have been going on chat rooms and forums all my life. I'm not a very social person and I even resent going out with the few people I actually like. However, in all of my years online, I've met a few really amazing people. They are a lot less shitty than the people I know offline. Although I've met a lot of people I dislike online as well, I've met a few of my closest friends via internet.
I know many people who've been in internet realtionships and sometimes it actually works out. So, yes. It is possible to be in love with someone you know online. You learn their personality before you learn what they look like, so that factors in a lot. [ Vendetta's advice column | Ask Vendetta A Question ]
Christine1993 answered Tuesday May 23 2006, 12:19 am: his personality may be wonderful.. but.. you may NOT be in love.. cause if you ever like lived together and you did something stupid.. you would have to know how he would react.. i don't think it is weird... but i met this fooooine boy on the internet.. his personality is gorgeous but.. his name... is beau... pronounced (BO)! can u imagine marrying a guy named beau ? well i didn't care cause i caled him my boo and he laughed cause it is close to his name.. but he knows what boo means (bf,sweetie) well anyway.. it is not weird but i think it is puppy love.. not to be mean at all.. you should really see him on webcam one day cause he may not be using his real picture.

Well, I guess I could direct you there, and in that comic is great example of how badly online relationships can turn out. I believe thats what the story is about right now. [ mascott106's advice column | Ask mascott106 A Question ]
xsweet_pea_10 answered Monday May 22 2006, 3:53 pm: No its not wierd it has happened to alot of people. Just be careful because you never know for sure. Yes it is possible to fall completly in love with someone you never met befor i actully think it better to talk to someone over the phone a few times befor you meet because then you get to know there personalty and you wont judge them on their looks wicht is a good thing. Ask him if he ever wants to meet up with you so you guys can hang out and then it wont be as awkward if you have actully met befor. Just be carefull but dontthink your a geek or its wierd to fall in love with him because its totaly normal.
Tulipg17 answered Monday May 22 2006, 3:51 pm: This is a question that has to be answered based on how old you are. If you are under 18, especially if you are under 16...be very very careful. If you are under 18 I really don't think there is any reason at all for you to be trying to meet men/boys/whatever online. If you don't believe me then ask your parents opinion as a hypothetical and see what they say. I'm sure I don't have to tell you about internet preditors who pose as teen boys to meet underage girls just like you. They really go all out too, just because his profile LOOKS like a teen who goes to such and such school doesn't really mean anything. Even if you are over 18, always meet in a very public place and tell lots of people where you are going and with whom before to go to meet him. That doesn't just go for meeting #1 either. Lots of people meet over the internet and become good friends or more. there isn't anything worng with that. Safety needs to be your top priority though.
I did say that there isn't anything wrong with liking a guy you met on the internet. I added the safety info because clearly you are a child and could use a lot of help on the subject. I can see that you proved me correct. [ Tulipg17's advice column | Ask Tulipg17 A Question ]

Sherry answered Monday May 22 2006, 2:33 pm: Me too, when I saw this question...I knew I just had to answer. I was 13 but I still cared for him and everything, and things like that just happen. I have a few friends right now that I love but they live in different states. Their personalitys are awesome and I would love to just meet them! This is not weird..you know hes real...but is this realtionship realistic? Where does he live? A few states away or across the country? If your willing to work it out, see eachother from time to time...then I say go for it. If your too young to drive/fly to eachothers towns then I think you should keep talking and being friends but wait until your 18 to pursue things. So it might be a while till you can start something, but that doesnt mean you should stop talking to him until then. He's a friend, a good one. So yes its possible to love him and its possible to be in a relationship with him. Have fun with it, love is love...and if its meant to be, distance wont be a problem.

ridiculouslyxxon answered Monday May 22 2006, 2:16 pm: When I saw this question I could instantly relate. Sometimes meeting someone from the internet can be good, and sometimes it can be bad. I've had so far, two relationships over the internet that were later moved to over the phone. In one of them we never met in person, and the other I had twice, but only for short visits. It was more of a long-distance relationship after that than an internet relationship.
I do think it is possible, because while in the first relationship I don't think I loved her, but had a fondness for her, my second relationship I couldn't get enough of him. I thought about him day and night, and it actually started to hurt to get off the phone with him. Perhaps I was too clingy, I don't know, but we dated for a year and a half. I talked with some of his friends and saw pictures of him, and I actually became friends with one of his ex's, so I knew he pretty much wasn't a fake. Especially when I saw him in person.
My cousin met her boyfriend over the internet, and the guy moved from where he did live to where we both live, and he turned out to be pretty cool. They've broken up, but they're still really good friends, and they're still together constantly.
However, I have had a bad experience from the internet. There are alot of perverted guys out there, and I happened to meet one in person. Lets just say it didn't go too well.
angelgurl2007 answered Monday May 22 2006, 2:08 pm: people will always love someone in wierd ways...but if thats how you feel go for it..but be careful cause they be putting fake pictures..and you probabl might be mad...so go for it...okay [ angelgurl2007's advice column | Ask angelgurl2007 A Question ]
bound_heart answered Monday May 22 2006, 2:06 pm: First, I don't think it's weird to meet a person on-line. I met my husband and the father of my daughter on a personals site.
There is something I can say from experiences that I had before I met my hubby. Don't let yourself get too involved with someone sight unseen. He may sound good. He may look alright in the picture he sent you. He may seem to have a lot of friends who you would think know him in real life, but until you have a person in front of you, until you go out with him in person and meet his friends and see what he actually looks like, don't invest too much of yourself in him.
I know it's an easy thing to say and a difficult thing to do. But what you like right now is what he is portraying himself to be. Now I didn't say he's lying about who he is. It's just that until you see him in the flesh and meet him in person, you only know what he wants you to know. You don't know all his flaws, all his shortcomings. You know what he wants you to know, which is fine. But until you see him for all that he is, what he wants you to see and what he doesn't want you to see, try not to let yourself get caught up in love with him. You may be setting yourself up for a world of hurt if you do.
All that being said, hell no, you are not a geek! After all, if you were a geek for just meeting someone on-line, then what am I for meeting someone on-line, falling madly in love with him, marrying him and having his baby?
Good luck and be careful with that heart of yours... it's fragile stuff!
